This looks like a completely arbitrary decision to me. The problem is, that the action is composite (schneller laufen), but schneller is also a comparative, where one may want to have the comparison o …

You are wrong, both variants are equally possible, since German is quite tolerant in respect to word order; there is just a tendency to put more emphasized words to the front of the sentence, see this …

Beide Varianten sind richtig. Die Wahl hängt davon ab: Wichtigeres (Informativeres, Überraschenderes) zuerst (vgl. TheAwfulLanguage) Kontext. Wenn mein Kollege gerade von seinem Wochenende erzählt h …

There is no fixed rule for the order in German, but much influence by the context. If somebody told you before, that his son visits the university in Munich, you might well start with university eithe …

As I understand TeKaMoLo (never encountered this term in school) it applies only to supplements of the same level. This is not the case here, since am Ende der Straße adds details to Werkstatt as woul …

To emphasize a point made RDBury: You might hear the sentence with manchmal at the end, but it would be correctly written as: Mein Bruder spielt Klavier - manchmal. In that case the speaker became a …

As native speaker I don't recognize a diffrence in respect to naturally sounding quality. It more depends on the context, so if the previous sentence mentioned, where Mr Lampe entered the train, (and …
